  • The appeal for me is that mine is solar as well. So, it requires zero maintenance for years and years until that capacitor or whatever dies. It’s also basically indestructible.

    I have metal brackets that screw into the resin body so it takes regular nato straps, so I don’t need to worry about replacement straps. I’ve basically dipped this thing in paint on accident before, and it just peels off the resin. I wear it to the beach, where I have previously gotten sand under my rotating bezels.

    I wouldn’t say it’s a particularly good looking watch, but I love it for dirty, abrasive, impacting, tough situations. Situations where I’d scratch a metal watch or crystal.



  • Things like FOSS stuff makes you think people can organize and work together freely to achieve a common goal, and maybe anarchy could work. But then, you see a busy intersection when the traffic lights go out and you realize the general public are idiots and everything devolves into selfish chaos as you’re stuck a half mile back, as cars shoot through in no particular order and you inch closer to the madness terrified to make your left turn. I have zero trust in society without some form of rule and order.
